It was founded in the 1830s as a [[lumber camp]]{{cn|date=May 2024}}, and is located {{convert|758|km|mi}} north of [[Sydney]], {{convert|32|km|mi}} north of [[Casino, New South Wales|Casino]] on the [[Summerland Way]] close to the [[Queensland]] border. It also lies on the banks of the [[Richmond River]]. It is the seat of its own [[shire]].
